  1. hello, very good app…thanks and congratulations! Please, I would like to know if there is a future project to include dji osmo action 3 as compatible too? I have gopro10 and dji osmo action 3…and I would like to control both cameras. thanks!

  2. Hi. Thanks for making this. I am using it on a handlebar remote controller for motorcycles, and am hoping you could make a keyboard shortcut for swapping modes (video, still, timelapse) and taking a still image also, which of course would be the r-key if set in photo mode.
